PRLog - Aug. 11, 2014 - DALLAS -- Dallas, Texas, August 11, 2014 - When looking for ways to fund the goings on of an ASC or urgent care center, an owner operator must adopt a businessman’s mindset. In other words, he or she must look at the center as a small or large business.

Whether an owner is looking to buy out a partner or expand the center in some way, extra capital can be a hard thing to come by, especially if the amount is substantial.

Seeking out a loan from a bank in the form of asset backed financing is own common option. However, in an article published by The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, a type of financing called “mezzanine” financing is explained.

According to Rodger Davis, Partner at Northcreek Mezzanine in Cincinnati, mezzanine debt financing is, “subordinated to a senior lender. It has a second priority lean on the assets of the business. Hence the word ‘mezzanine,’ because it sits between senior debt and equity.”

The article, which can be read in full here (ambulatoryadvisor.com/mezzanine-debt-financing/), goes into further detail about differences in equity and collateral between mezzanine and asset backed bank financing. Robert Stewart, General Partner at Spring Capital Partners, L.P., also offers insights and comments in the article.
